The sun starts to cast shadows into the parking of Carmela’s Mexican Restaurant in Arcata, CA. The blue lines denote parking for handicapped individuals. But nothing on the sign specifically states as such. It is only a sign with what appears to be a person sitting in a slanted C that says, “Parking Only.” However, we as a society have decided to give this sign meaning and to give this parking space to those who may need easier access to a building. https://freddybrewster.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/usps.jpgUSPS#CURRENTSTATUS. Spray paint drips down to the side of the United States Postal Service emblem. This delivery box, located just outside of the Wildberries Market in Arcata, CA, has seen better days. Originally built in 1961, the box and the emblem are representative of the current status of the USPS; an institution that has been struggling financially for some time now. https://freddybrewster.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/traffic-light.jpgtraffic lightNO GO. Red lights shine bright at the intersection of H Street and Samoa Boulevard. The sun on the warm September Sunday morning in Arcata, CA casts shadows to the west. Arrows painted on the street tell the drives the mandated directions of those lanes, while red lights stop them in their tracks. Countries across the world have adopted this system of traffic light colors and their meanings. Of the few things that can be agreed upon in this tense world, at least we can agree that a red light means to stop driving. https://freddybrewster.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/flag.jpgflagLET ME FLY! The wind gently blew the California flag on a sunny Sunday morning in Arcata, CA. The American flag, like the federal government, holds down the California flag as it tries to expand its own image. For some the California flag stands for visions of egalitarianism and progress, ideals once help by the federal government. https://freddybrewster.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/wells-fargo.jpgwells fargoMONEY OVER RELIGION. The Wells Fargo sign in Arcata, CA stands to the west of the Arcata Presbyterian church. The sun broke through the clouds on Sunday morning to light up the sign and to provide a dramatic shot that some say represents the current state of mind for some Americans. https://freddybrewster.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/crosswalk.jpgcrosswalkSTAY WITHIN THE LINES. Lines dictate where one can move throughout our society. They hold us within certain lanes for driving, tell us where to park, and delineate safe walking areas. However, they also can hold back those who do not know how best to operate within those lines. For the less economically advantaged lines on a piece of paper may seem like a daunting task to undertake, thus keeping them within their socioeconomic class. 2018-09-24T15:34:58+00:00monthlyhttps://freddybrewster.com/blog/2018-08-27T19:21:11+00:00weekly0.6https://freddybrewster.comdaily1.02023-10-19T23:09:58+00:00
